Thankfully the rest of the range is still the hatch or I'd be seriously kicking myself!!

Yes I'm a hatch oil burner owner!

I like it too, but £33k is way too much. Especially as you can now buy much better specced Evo 10 for £29k

So you can't get an official rear spoiler from Subaru?

It might be the light but the white spoiler looks a different shade of white to the rest of the car.

Looks much better with a spoiler than without. Quite like it in red as well. I'll be in the amrket for a new car next year but at £33k it's way too much for me. Perhaps a year old one after the residuals. Should be able to get one for just under £20k

Change the badges and it could be an EVO 6.575. Certainly better than the minging hatch but Subaru need to wake up. No doubt it will £2K for 18" alloys instead of a £500 option tick in the box. I remember when the first classic high boot spoiler came out and the charge was £700, then it became std on 1999 facelift models a year later.

C'mon Subaru, take a look at the Focus RS and get it right first time, not half baked!

If it's £33K you can forget it. How much is the first years tax and then after?

ps the boot looks so small I think I would struggle to get my Transformers lunchbox in it. Might need a roofbox!

According to the spec it comes with 18" wheels

Agreed, the hatch looks more aggressive, is more practical and has a spoiler!

I'll stick with my blobeye for now

The saloon does look better with the spoiler added though

Liking the big spoiler but not keen on the window one, looks like it has just been taken out of the parts bin for the hawk and fitted to the wrong model, it does not flow correctly along the line that runs up and over the window.

IMO a new design approch should have been taken rather than thinking that will fit, that will do!

Something along the lines of these would have been better.

Bit too much going on for me with that back end. It would be one or the other for me not both.

Spoiler helps it a lot. Just needs some alloys that fill the arches. The standard ones look like they're tucked under a little. Some nice flush rims will finish it off imo.

This new saloon is growing on me. It's just the price tag that I don't like now.

Nail on head. The back end is a complete mess. I had no idea the back end of a new Impreza could end up looking as bad as the front, it is just way too fussy and doesn't gel. Then of course there are the chocolate pistons
